$15,000
To support the building of a unique theatrical marquee, the Apollinaire Watercourse, that will also serve as a piece of public art in Chelsea Square: a watercourse that pours a solid, glowing beam of light from our marquee along a trough and finally through the air, integrated with thematic video projections that turn passing pedestrians into participants. The trough of the watercourse will be fabricated from steel cutouts of quotations from the poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire. They will work with local artists Megan Kineen (Watertown, MA) and Chris Bocchiaro (Salem, MA). Installation is planned for September 2016.
